Spurs vs. Grizzlies Spread Prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies have dropped eight of their last 10 games and have been putrid at the betting window over that same span. That said, do they still have some value as a home dog Wednesday night versus the visiting San Antonio Spurs?

San Antonio Spurs Fantasy Spin
DeMar DeRozan led the way for the Spurs Monday vs. the Pistons, finishing the win with 26 points (12-of-21 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, nine assists, two steals and two blocks in 34 minutes. Two days after scoring 12 points on 3-of-10 shooting from the field DeRozan bounced back in a big way Monday night in Detroit. At one point in the fourth quarter the All-Star guard made six consecutive shots, and this effort ends a run of four consecutive games in which he shot below 50% from the field. DeRozan is now shooting 47.4% from the field on the season while averaging 22.6 points per game.
Memphis Grizzlies Fantasy Spin
Dillon Brooks (toe) is listed as out for Wednesday’s game against the Spurs with a sore right toe. He was out on Monday, as well, and he’s also wearing a walking boot as a precaution. Despite Brooks’ absence on Monday, Justin Holiday managed just four points on four free throws.
NBA Betting Trends
San Antonio
The Spurs are 15-5-1 against the spread in their last 21 games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Prediction
The road team is 5-1-1 against the number in the last seven meetings between these two teams while the favorite is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight games in this series. The Spurs have been profitable when playing the Grizzlies, going 5-2-1 at the betting window in their last eight games against Memphis. The Spurs are 11-1 against the spread in their last 12 games playing on only one day of rest, are 4-1-1 against the number in their last six road games and are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games overall. Given the Grizzlies’ struggles (0-6 ATS in their last six home games as well as being just 5-18 ATS in their last 23 games overall), the Spurs look like a safe road favorite here.
